title: [Progress in sterility therapy. Gonadotropin treatment, monitoring follicle maturation using real-time ultrasonics].
abstract: Results of prospective examination of follicle development under HMG-HCG-therapy by real time scanning are discussed. 1979-1980 37 patients were treated with HMG-HCG, 82 cycles of treatment were evaluated. In 93% of these cycles ovulation occurred, 17 patients became pregnant. Slight overstimulation was seen in 5% (4 of 82 cycles of treatment). Real time scan monitoring of follicular development allows a more efficient treatment with HMG-HCG, also multiple gravidity might theoretically be reduced.
